I'm looking to replace my almost 6 yr old Lenovo G470. I am very happy with this Laptop because it only cost me less than P30k when I purchased it in 2013. Prior to my Lenovo, I had a Toshiba which lasted me 8 yrs but cost me around 80k in 2005. I was advised by Tsikoteers to get the G470 instead of getting another Toshiba for the same amount and I am so glad I listened!
I think my laptop can still last 8 yrs but it's falling apart already and being held together by duct tapeI will only use the laptop for browsing, email, youtube and netflix. I don't store much data too, since 2013 I have less than 100gb of files.
Please recommend a durable laptopTIA!

September 23rd, 2018 02:51 PM #6Ms. Cath, how big the screen you want it to be? Daming nasa 30k range sa villman... but mostly screen nila is 15.6 inches... hows that? Though iba-iba ang specs. May intel build at amd... i would go for intel though... i think corei3 is effecient enough for your needs...

September 23rd, 2018 08:12 PM #10Out of the box with the optimus drivers installed, the 940 mx should be off for most tasks naman ata. Originally Posted by StockEngine

Some dells have this feature din ata. Not sure which other manufacturer does.Last edited by mda; September 23rd, 2018 at 08:20 PM.

I'm not sure though it their employees are still the same...
